Wm Brunken Lahoma, Okla
Will send you a postal suppose you know the house and the girl on the porch. had it taken just before Xmas when it snowed the night before, but the snow is laying yet, it only thawed about 3 days since then Just a little its fine now 40 above yesterday today the same
Who
- “Wm Brunken” is William Leonard Brunken, my grandfather.
- “girl on the porch” is likely Hilda Ida Brunken, my mother.
What
Whoever sent this card to my grandfather expected him to be able to recognize the house and the girl with a doll on the porch [1].
The handwriting on this postcard is very similar to that of the handwriting on the postcard of the “Evangelical Lutheran Church Sanctuary – Lost Creek Township” post. The message handwriting is almost the same and the script of the address is identical. Is this a card that my grandmother wrote while visiting relatives in Nebraska? If so, the girl probably is grandfather’s daughter, Hilda Ida Brunken, whom grandfather would definitely have recognized[1].
Where
Nebraska
When
The picture was taken just before Christmas as stated in the postcard. However, there is no postmark nor date given on the postcard. If this is the same visit as in the “Evangelical Lutheran Church Sanctuary – Lost Creek Township” posting, December 1911 is the date the picture was taken.
Notes
- The face of the girl on the porch does look like pictures that I have of of my mother, Hilda Ida Brunken, as a child.
